Though I can watch this show and enjoy it a little bit. The fake
Fox-Produced drama has worn thin. It has gotten worse each season of
this American version. I get sick of the contestants always degrading
and yelling at each other. Very disrespectful to each other. And there
is no doubt in my mind that Fox producers pushes these contestants to
be that way. There was probably 3 or 4 contestants out of all the
seasons that I was actually rooting for.
I find the Australian Masterchef version to be superior in just about
every way. 1. Many, many more episodes. A journey 2. Several more
challenges. Including a multitude of top chefs to compete against to
try to win an immunity pin. Pressure tests for another chance to
survive. 3. Contestants that I actually care about and several each
season that I root for to win. 4. Contestants that actually use
teamwork and have respect and care for each other. 5. No fake-produced
drama. Real emotion displayed by the contestants. 6. And several Mentor
elite Chefs to help contestants learn.
I do like all the judges from both the U.S. version and Australian
version. But the Fox version is a fake-drama filled 'Express' version
of a reality show.(no big surprise there.) Masterchef Australia is an
'Epic Journey' to truly find a top amateur chef, with contestants to
truly care and root for. I highly recommend watching the Australian
version.
